Hit and Run truck driver - 3663 food delivery company

I hope you reported that to the police. That driver must know he's done that.

Yes, I've reported it to the police - they asked me to fill in section 4 for some form which I have and they said they will send a letter to home with crime ref. It didn't appear they were going to investigate immediately by looking at cctv footage of other cameras in the area. Since no one was injured I very much doubt they will investigate this any further and probably leave it for me to deal with I guess.

Once the police can establish the VRM (vehicle registration mark), they will issue a S172 notice to the (registered keeper) RK of the vehicle requesting the driver's details.

When the RK responds, the nominated driver will be sent a NIP/S172 requesting confirmation of who was driving and notifying them of the potential charges - failing to stop, failing to report and a possible driving without due care charge.

At that point, your insurers can be informed of the RK's insurers and your insurer will be able to claim against them.

Thanks for the excellent research and analysis "mcjordi" - thats most likely to be bang on target I guess as that truck on flickr is exactly the same model as the truck that hit my bike. We are pretty close I guess, I've passed on this information to 3663 as well, now the long weekend wait starts.

If your witness is confident about the part of the reg they have provided the police should find the truck from a pnc vods check. Pester them to do this before guessing a reg you provide to 3663. Yes that one is a white Scania but is it theirs?

I hope the driver get the sack, its idiots like that (we all make mistakes but hopefully hold our hands up) that give truck drivers a bad name.

whats crazy about this he stops when he hits the bike. so he knows that he has hit something. he straighten ups, reversing up to the bike level with passenger door. probably looked out, then decided to drive off.

any professional driver wouldve looked up that street prior to reversing to get an idea of what is there and where!!

Get it hyped on face book, to build that up.

3663 do NOT want that as an advert for their motorcycle destruction / food delivery service.

I reckon if you hit 10,000 3663 will be begging you to settle.

In fact I am amazed that they have not offered to sort out this mess straight away. If they are aware that the video is on Youtube.

Any business with any sense would do the following.


1. Say Sorry, 1-5 min. (It's clearly their drivers fault)
2. Find the driver, 1-5 min. (It's clearly their drivers fault)
3. Fix the bike, 24 hours. (It's clearly their drivers fault)
4. Sack the driver, 24 hours. (It's clearly their drivers fault)
5. Then mess about with insurance, later (It's clearly their drivers fault)


You have no bike.
You have no transport.
Its not your fault

It's clearly their drivers fault
